The Darkness & The Dwarves

I remember when the darkness used to be a friend; it shadowed me in safety and kept the eyes of guards and nobles away. Now? Now, the darkness hides the things our little family is searching for. I've managed to lead them safely through the mines, so far, but what happens when I make a misstep? I can't think that way, now, especially after the crazed miners tried to stop us.
 
Now, I have to trust the others. We have a cursed treasure to bury if we hope to keep it out of others' hands, though, I kind of agree that we should just let the Elves have it; let them be cursed. Our luck, they'd know how to un-curse it. The others have figured out what to do. Grim and Echo have the answers. In fact, Echo is calling us to leave the room so she can collapse the entrance. All she has is a paper, so, who knows what she's actually doing. I trust her, though.
